The music server is now working a whole lot better.
I have added a downsample program into the mix. This way, no matter what bitrate the file is in, it will all get shrunk to 56k/s. This way, I can actually run more then one stream at a time. How about that?
I have integrated my music server into the overall theme of the site. The problem being the layouts are very incompatible. Breaks the layout big time. I\’m looking at the code and thinking "Buh? My god? Jesus? Yeah. No good."
The main problem being that the music code uses tables for layout… And I hate tables. So here I am, with a nice layout based in CSS, and a great program comes along that breaks the crap out of it. Bugger.
I have tracked a few bugs relating to the login code. I found out that most of the things I *thought* were protected, were in fact, not. At all. open.
So thats all better. There are still things I would like to redo, and write in a more maintainable way.
Yawn. Coffee.
I have included code to allow me to post extended text to the stories put up on the front page of my site.
Lets see if it works, shall we?
I have managed to find more bugs, and fixed them. This time relating to session managment on the logged in page detection.
You might not see the change, but if you had an account, you would. Seeing as that its impossible for you to have an account, it makes zero difference to you. So carry on!
Have fun!
I tracked down a few of the bugs I found in the validation department. At least the front page validates to XHTML 1.0 transitional.
I have also found a few tricks with includes to make the maintanence of the pages a lot easier. By just including files, instead of hard coding every page, I can make changes to one file, that are reflected in all pages that have included that file.
Fancy huh?
I have found so many bugs in my new DB system and web design, that I\’m wondering if I should even be doing anything with the web. It will take me days to track down some of the bugs I have found.
I managed to get zero conf working with the server here. Not that you could tell. Its for my use only.
So what have I done with this you ask? Shared the server\’s music over iTunes with the rest of the house. And made the NFS server work with my new iBook. Also, this page, and my devel sandbox are quicklinks in the Rendezvous menu. I also setup a webDAV directory for use with iCal and the Mozilla calender. If you want to know how I did it, read on.
Yeah. I suppose it works alright. Now all I need to do is create a login maker.
The front page now holds a new DB engine, coded by myself
